Zari on Wednesday cleared the air after speculations that she was in love with Sonko.

The debate was sparked after Sonko noted in a recent Instagram post, that as a politician, he faces many problems of being linked to relationships with different women including Zari.

A few days later, reports emerged online that Zari professed her love for the Nairobi Governor.

"I want to reveal my love for the handsome Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko. He is the man I have secretly admired for a long time. I love this handsome governor because he is a man of impeccable character and passionate convictions. He is not as boyish as the other kid who has been chasing me around," she was quoted by South Africa's Jacaranda radio.

However, Zari through Instagram Stories trashed the reports terming them as nonsense. 

"This nonsense from this man should stop. No, I have no crush on you, I don't know you, never met you or anything. Please let me be. You are not my type, governor. Thank you," Zari wrote on Instagram Stories.

Zari is set to get married on Nelson Mandala Day after parting ways with Tanzanian artist Diamond Platnumz.
